    Definitely take your smallpox vaccine before time traveling. They still make them, so it shouldn't be too much hassle.

    Aren't those only available in developing countries and via the military?

    You can get it in Canada. You need to give a good reason to get it, but I'm sure time travel would qualify. If not, just say you're a laboratory worker researching Smallpox, and they'll give you the vaccine.

    Man I gotta move to Canada. The US government gives me jack squat for time travel.

    I don't know if they would be willing to give you the smallpox vaccine in order to go back in time and totally change history so none of the people involve in giving you the vaccine would ever have been born.
